It’s the colour contrast for me 😍😍😍.

Had to blitz through my Easy Lace Panel top for the @radiclethreads July MAL cos I was so behind. Nearly there now. Just need to dunk (block) 😊 the panels, sew them up and finish up the little sleeves - no pressure 😮‍💨😮‍💨🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️.
•
Did you join the MAL? I would love to see your top, so make sure you tag me and @radiclethreads. Also use #RadTMAL in your post 🙌🏽🙌🏽.

If you’re knitting a top down yoke sweater and you don’t take a flat lay photo of the yoke, are you even knitting a top down yoke sweater?? 🤣🤣🤣.
•
On a serious note though, I’m always searching the yoke sweater hashtag cos I love seeing all the gorgeous yoke flat lays.

Happy new week you fabulous lot! Hope you have a good one!

Any c2c lovers on my feed 🙋🏽‍♀️? I find that I have seasons where all I want to do is crochet c2c. There’s something about the rhythm of the c2c stitch that just gets me lost in the euphoria of it. Anyone else feel this way?

Happy “nearly the weekend” day, my friends! I count Fridays as part of the weekend, can’t help it 🤷🏽‍♀️🙈.

Pattern: The Little Bubba c2c graphgan blanket (pattern available in all my shops - link in bio).

Let me tell you a little story about these gorgeous chunks of yarn from @woolyknit. I mean, look at the size of them! 🧶🧶🧶.

So, the fab trio of @thewoolmontyshow shared their #MontyAtHome hauls the other day and I was immediately drawn to the huge hanks of yarn in each of their hauls 😍😍. At the time, I had started swatching for a pattern and wasn’t liking the yarn I was knitting with and just somehow knew that this yarn from @woolyknit was THE ONE.

Long story short, I received my happy mail yesterday and I am not disappointed at all!

So, a huge thank you to Rosie, Mand and Debbie of @thewoolmontyshow for sharing their hauls and a huge thank you to @woolyknit for these gorgeous and squishilicious (oooooh, what a word!) yarn 😍😍🙌🏽🙌🏽.

THE END 😊😊.

Would you believe me if I told you I didn’t intentionally match the colour of my nail polish to the colour of my yarn? Just goes to show how much we’re subconsciously thinking about something, eh? I did intentionally match my crochet hook though 😉😉.

Are you joining us on the @radiclethreads July MAL

Are you joining us on the @radiclethreads July MAL 🤔? I am über excited to be joining the MAL to make one of my crochet patterns, the Easy Lace Panel Top.

Alsoooo, would you look at the stunning yarn 🧶 I’ll be playing with to make my top? I gasped when I opened my package (with a lovely note and an absolutely fabulous project bag) from the phenomenal Lola @thirdvaultyarns.

Side note: Can we also talk about how perfectly the colours match with the cover of my current read? This was defo ordained 😍😍.
